I’ve been a Stay at Home Dad for 17-months. In that time, I’ve discovered that I enjoy some weird things, things that 18-months ago would have brought me little to no joy. A 6pm trip to the grocery store, for example, to pick up a pack of pull-ups…”oh, are we […]
No HUGE surprise this year, as Ziggy Marley takes home the Best Musical Album for Children Grammy for his 2009 disc “Family Time”. I didn’t cover Ziggy’s family disc on OWTK, choosing instead to discuss “Family Time” on iVillage.com. Head here to read all about it. Buck Howdy’s “Aaaaah! Spooky, […]

That’s exactly what the Kindiefest kid’s music festival is shaping up to be. And you (assuming you are a kid’s musician/band) can be a part of the excitement (keep reading). Details are emerging on nearly a daily basis, being leaked methodically on Facebook and Twitter as a way of building […]
John and Mark’s Children’s Record ranks as one of 2009’s biggest surprises. It’s also one of my favorite all-ages albums ever.
